Steps to reproduce

$ yarn install $ yarn start

Not reproducible with a minimal app. Only started happening when I included some older library. It may use some commonjs, in a type: module library, which may trigger this. But I'm just guessing, based on the stack.

Additional information

The file node_modules/core-js/library/web/timers.js does not exist in core-js 3.34.0 nor in 3.0.0. It does exist in core.js 2.6.12.

I have node 18.15.0 installed

Fix

Possible fixes:

Depend on core-js 2.6.12. yarn add core-js@2.6.12 removes the error.
Find the culprit line and fix it, but it's called from node.
